Start by cutting two coordinating fabric pieces (I suggest at least one piece be something very soft- I used fleece) into 13x13 squares. The blanket will end up being 12x12 after you sew it.
This picture only shows one of my pieces, but you get the idea.
Then cut 25 strips of coordinating ribbon. The length is up to you, but you will want them to be long enough to stick out decently far from the blanket, as well as having at least an inch inside the blanket.
Lay your back fabric right side up and fold and pin down your ribbons. The loop of the ribbon should be facing INWARD so that when you turn the blanket inside out, the ribbons hang out.
Pin your front fabric right sides together with the back fabric (the ribbons should be between the two pieces of fabric).
Sew around the blanket, leaving a hole and then turn the blanket inside out. Take out all of the pins (you wouldn't want a baby finding on later)!
Sew the hole shut with a ladder stitch.
Then sew around the inside edge of the of the blanket. Then you're finished!
Happy crafting! -Kristen
